A full siding replacement is a major project, and if you’ve never been through it before, you probably have a lot of questions. How long will it take? What happens if there’s hidden damage? Will my daily routine be disrupted?
At Elevate Exteriors, we believe homeowners should feel informed and confident throughout the process. That’s why we take a clear, step-by-step approach to siding replacement, from removing the old materials to the final walkthrough. Whether you’re upgrading for better protection, improved curb appeal, or long-term value, here’s what you can expect from start to finish.
How Long Does a Siding Replacement Take?
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is, “How long will this take?” A typical siding replacement project takes anywhere from two to three weeks from start to finish.
Here’s a general timeline of what to expect:
- Material Delivery & Prep Work: Before we begin, we’ll make sure all necessary materials are delivered, and we’ll confirm that everything is ready to go.
- Old Siding Removal: We carefully remove the existing siding to expose the home’s exterior. This is where we might uncover hidden issues.
- Inspection for Structural Issues: Once the old siding is removed, we inspect for any underlying problems such as moisture damage, rot, or mold.
- Installation of New Siding: Once the surface is prepared, we begin installing the new siding, section by section.
- Final Walkthrough: After the project is complete, we’ll do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets our high standards and your expectations.
From the very first day to the final handshake, we keep you updated on what’s happening so you never feel left in the dark.
The Elevate Exteriors Approach: A Partnership, Not Just a Project
Many contractors take a hands-off approach, where they simply install the siding and leave. That’s not how we do things at Elevate Exteriors.
We believe that homeowners deserve to be involved in the process. That’s why we:
- Provide daily updates so you always know what work was completed that day.
- Walk you through each finished section so you can see the progress up close.
- Answer any questions you have along the way—because we want you to feel confident that the job is being done right.
With Elevate Exteriors, you’re not just hiring a contractor. You’re gaining a partner who respects your home and values clear communication.
Handling Unexpected Issues
One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is: “What if there’s hidden damage?”
The reality is that we don’t always know what’s underneath the old siding until we remove it. Common issues we encounter include:
- Rot and Decay: Moisture trapped under old siding can cause wood rot, weakening your home’s structure.
- Mold Growth: If moisture has seeped in, mold can form, creating potential health concerns.
- Framing Damage: Sometimes, the framing beneath the siding has deteriorated and needs repair.
These issues are especially common in the Pacific Northwest, where moisture levels are high. The good news? We’re experts in exterior construction, and we’re fully prepared to handle any necessary repairs.
If we find damage, we’ll walk you through the problem, explain your options, and get your approval before making any repairs. No surprises, no hidden costs—just honest communication.
Minimizing Disruptions to Your Home Life
We know that a construction project at home can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take extra steps to make the process as smooth as possible for you and your family.
Here’s how we minimize disruptions:
- Customized Scheduling: If you have young children or pets, we’ll discuss how to adjust work hours or areas to keep them safe and comfortable.
- Protecting Your Property: Got a prized rose bush or a freshly sodded lawn? We’ll take precautions to safeguard your landscaping.
- Respecting Your Routine: Whether it’s nap time for little ones or a home office setup, we’ll work with you to find the least disruptive approach.
By considering these factors, we make sure your siding replacement enhances your home—without turning your daily life upside down.
The Final Walkthrough
When the last piece of siding is installed, we don’t just pack up and leave. Our job isn’t done until you’re 100% satisfied.
Here’s what happens during the final walkthrough:
- We inspect every detail of the work to ensure it meets our high-quality standards.
- We walk you through the completed project so you can see the transformation firsthand.
- We answer any last questions and provide maintenance tips to keep your new siding in top shape for years to come.
This is where we shake hands and celebrate a job well done.
